Step #1: Use your web browser and navigate to the Evernote web site: https://www.evernote.com/Registration.action
Step #2: Provide the user information requested to set-up your account.
Step #3: Once the account is set-up use it for logging in to all devices and the Evernote web site

Note: If you download the app on a mobile device, you will be prompted to set-up your account the first time you open the app.

Premium Version: If asked to upgrade to the premium version (a cost is involved) it is a personal decision. To get started, the free version will allow you to use Evernote and "get a feel" for the service and app. If you begin using Evernote a great deal and run out of space you may want to consider the premium version.
